ST. LOUIS, Jan. 7, 2013 – Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc., a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) has launched a new mobile application designed to help HVAC contractors upgrade their old sliding cardboard refrigerant charge calculators.

The new HVAC Check & Charge™ provides an on-site refrigerant charge calculator for air conditioning applications. The app allows contractors to easily calculate correct system refrigerant charge for R-22 or R-410A.

Contractors can simply choose subcooling, superheat, or airflow and enter the specified system temperatures along with the latent and sensible environmental loads. These values are then used to determine the proper system charge and whether the charge amount needs to be altered based on these conditions.

“Our popular suite of free mobile apps are designed to help contractors perform quicker and more accurate service and installation calls,” said Karl Zellmer, vice president of sales, Emerson Climate Technologies Inc., Air Conditioning business. “The Check & Charge app is a great tool for busy contractors and a good replacement for those old sliding charge calculators.”
